Guest Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Nice work on the chop Brian! Quartering the roof is the only way to do a chop right. Since you've widened the rear fenders, are you going to fill in the fenderwell opening? You mentioned changing the shape of the quarter windows. How about canting the B pillar slightly? That would change the shape of your quarter and door windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I have some 442 motors to choose from but I also have a ZR-1 motor that may find its way in here. If you wanted to go with something late model, you could also rob the Shebly-tuned Aurora 4.0 V8 from the Revell Shelby Series 1, though you might need to find a conventional gearbox as that car has the late Corvette type torque tube/rear-mounted transaxle.

Bartster Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I don't have any idea what to use for power, I would really like to keep the drivetrain Olds but I want a modern motor. I don't want to have to drop a 350 in it just to get some updated parts. .......Hey Brian, check with Sean (sstacey47). He casts an underhood blown, injected set up for a BBC. l easily adapted it to a 426 hemi & it looks wicked! l'm sure it would be even easier to adapt it to a 455. Just a thought.

Fat Brian Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I picked up a Boyd Smoothster with a late model 350 with a nice multiport fuel injection top, it looks good since it came from a clean modern custom. I'm thinking about rescribing the door lines to make a pseudo hardtop and removing the B pillar completely. I'm probably going to leave the wheel openings alone to show off the wheels when I pick them out. Here is a pic of the engine, it's plain but will get the job done.
